Kimani Ichung’wah, following a Karen meeting chaired by Deputy President Kithure Kindiki, highlighted the Embu County Development Engagement Forum.
The forum, Ichung’wah stated, serves as a collaborative platform for stakeholders and professionals to strategize on advancing Embu County’s development. He emphasized the forum’s role in fostering dialogue, aligning priorities, and addressing challenges to achieve sustainable growth.
Ichung’wah detailed his participation alongside Deputy President Kindiki, Embu Governor Cecily Mbarire, and several other Embu County Members of Parliament (MPs):
Geoffrey Ruku (Mbeere North), Muchangi Karemba (Runyenjes), Nebert Muriuki (Mbeere South), Pamela Njoki (Woman Representative), and Senator Alexander Munyi Mundigi. The meeting focused on identifying actionable solutions for sustainable growth and improving the lives of Embu County residents.
“Hypocrites. Worse than murderers. You hanged Riggy G for championing for the interests of the mountain and now you here talking about not just the same mountain but only the Eastern part of it. So oe Kindiki is the DP for My. Kenya East and not Kenya? Useless politicians.” Kiprono Kitur said.
“I have not listened to your speech but I know you mentioned former dp indirectly.” Sammy Karuga said.
“We have not problem with the people of embu nor kindiki, but we know the hypocrisy in you intentions, we know what happened to our Riggy G, we know but we wont forget that one.” Harun said.
These comments express strong criticism of Deputy President Kindiki and, by implication, the Kenya Kwanza government. The speakers accuse them of hypocrisy, alleging that they previously opposed Riggy G while now focusing on development in a specific region (Eastern Kenya), suggesting favoritism and a disregard for other areas.
The anger stems from a perceived betrayal of Ruto and a belief that the government’s actions are motivated by ulterior motives rather than genuine concern for the well-being of all Kenyans. The references to “Riggy G” and the “mountain” strongly suggest a context of Kenyan tribal and political dynamics.
